Inspired by PUG services such as PugChamp and similar to the past IRC channels of tf2-mix.nahl and tf2.pug.nahl, HLPugs.tf is a Highlander draft-organized system where captains choose from an available pool of players in order to create highly competitive and balanced matches. This project aims to be transparent with our players and maintain the integrity of our community through democratic decision-making. With the continued and dedicated support of the Highlander community, we hope to provide a service that will allow for the combination of respect, care, and most importantly fun for everyone that uses it.

After over month and a half of tedious alpha testing (thank you everyone who participated in the alpha!), we ironed out many of the issues and bugs that were present with the service. Thus, as we transition into an open beta stage, we hope that there will not be any substantially key issues that will affect your experience.

With this open beta release, we want as much feedback and input as possible! Whether these are small bugs that we have not yet found or features that you wish to be added to the project, we wish to improve this service as much as possible.

Features
